A good reminder to celebrate our diversity, and to create acceptance and belonging #researchculture #vulnerableacademic #stemm #WomanInSTEMM #sydney #coast
Can’t wait to read the whole series, thanks @Lab_Coleman for sharing it
I can related with the many ups & downs
Lack of security was one of the top factors that drives researchers out of academia according to a study we did some years ago

@StefanoBerto83 Stress management for PIs (or any other career stage) in scientific research): https://t.co/Vw3pE1igMs
One of those Saturdays... one paper was accepted, one paper rejected
In my experience, the rejections still sting, no matter how 'senior' you get
That's because I care about the research we do & the people that drive it

PERSPECTIVE: Rethinking Culture to Unlock the Potential of Medical Research @FZMarques

Keeping things real, this presentation was so amazing 🤩 but also made me feel quite inadequate 🙈 just saying… if anyone else is feeling that way, I’m right there with you 😅
Very inspiring thou, key message is think bigger
#vulnerableacademic #impostersyndrome #AHA23
Wow what an inspiring Presidential address from Prof Joseph Wu 👏👏👏
(And what a great speaker 🤩)
His advice: “Work hard, work smart and especially work together”
#AHA23
Refreshing to hear a Novel Laureate’s bio that mentions grant rejections and other career challenges 🙌 #vulnerableacademic
What a great talk too by Prof Mario Capecchi
Looking forward to the ‘meet the Nobel’ networking session 🤩
#Hypertension23
Enjoying how many of the senior presenters at @WCmicrobiome are declaring their #impostersyndrome fears 😅
“I’m not a microbiologist/clinician/etc” but we are all have different expertise & skills that matter

‘The bottom line is that when we spend a lot of time worrying about how we fit and whether we belong (…), we risk losing opportunities to be seen as our best and truest selves, as expressive, fruitful, and full of ideas’
#vulnerableacademic
Something to reflect on today...
We live in a research culture where overwork is accepted as a status symbol and productivity is associated with self-worth
You are not = papers, grants, awards etc
At the end of your life, do you really think these will matter?

And just to keep it real, and be a #vulnerableacademic, in 2021 I had a previous stab at a #MRFF & the application was NFFC. 😭
It's important to pick yourself up, learn from the experience, improve on that idea & draft and have another go... #ECRchat
Do you ever feel you may never catch up on work, like ever? 😭
#vulnerableacademic
What a day…
One paper published 🤩 and one rejected 😭
Academic life is not as glorious as it may look
Tomorrow’s job to read and digest reviewers’ comments and try again
#vulnerableacademic
@FZMarques @nhmrc @VicHeartInst @MonashBiol Congrats @FZMarques and also thank you for the honest thread on the journey - it's too easy for people to see all the wins and not the rejections and hard work along the way. Thank you. #vulnerableacademic
Finally, let's not forget the iceberg illusion of what success looks like
In the last 6 months I also had:
- Grants and papers rejected
- Hard feedback from collaborators
- Unsuccessful award applications
+++
#vulnerableacademic
It is hard when grants get rejected to focus on what really matters to us, and let go of comparison
Remember YOU ARE AMAZING
Having clarity of my life mission and my values helps me to bring my attention back to what truly matters every single time
#vulnerableacademic
This week I tweeted about my new successful grant 🎉🎉
But you know what else happened this week?
I failed....A.L.O.T. 🤦♀️🤦♀️
A thread 🧵of everything I wasn't excited to share with @AcademicChatter
Thank you! I've not seen #VulnerableAcademic tag before. That acknowledgement of humanity is exactly what #SupportiveReview is about.

That's the 'peer' in #PeerReview 🙂
Let's all write as we'd wish to be written to.
@drjosflynn @CanJKHD @CJASN @NatRevNeph @CMClase @deboerih @rajmehrotra1122 @AJPRenalEIC @jingelfinger @Ped_Neph @NDTsocial Thank you so much!
It's not easy to strike a balance between owning your stuff up yet not beating yourself up ad nauseum 😊

You are certainly not alone @DrMelodyDing
Sometimes even well intentioned comments from collaborators can feel hurtful - now peer-review for manuscripts or grants can be/feel brutal 😩😓
Something I’m very aware when acting as a peer-reviewer myself 😅

1) A #VulnerableAcademic confession:
Years into the publishing business I still get discouraged by peer reviewers.
Most reviewers are awesome and deserve a big 'thank you' but an occasional rude reviewer is enough to make me 😭😱
